Default Re: What toy did you ask Santa for as a kid?

The biggies that I asked for and received: a Gilbert Chemistry Set ;D, Daisy Pump BB gun, Retina Reflex 35mm camera, telescope and Mitchell 300 fishing reel.

Asked for and didn't get a mini-bike build-it-yourself kit and an Orvis Battenkill bamboo fly rod. But the replacement gifts were an Oxford English Racer bike and Shakespeare Fiberglass 5 weight fly rod.

The Mitchell 300 and the the old fly rod still live on in my eldest son's hands.
